Of the data obtained from the assessment, the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT),was used as the framework to develop the Engineering State of Mind Instrument (ESMI).Contributing variables to emotional states of students, such as feelings of inclusion, coping self-efficacy, and engineering career success expectations were examined [3]. Data from this studyrevealed that students from underrepresented groups such as the Black, Latinx, and AmericanIndian populations feel less included in their engineering classes, in comparison to the

According to the National Science Board,from 2000 and 2015, the number of science and engineering degrees awarded to Hispanic studentshas increased from 7% to 13% compared to 61% awarded white students [3]. These trendssignificantly impact the professional and career trajectories of students and limit the diversificationof the STEM workforce. For example, according to Pew Research Center Black and Hispanicgroups continue to be underrepresented in STEM fields [4]. Today the Black communitycompromises 9% of all STEM workers, while 7% of the total STEM population is represented bythe Hispanic community.

The development of leadership is especially important for students whowish to pursue management careers including project management (PM) which is a highlyneeded and promising career path. Few undergraduate students are exposed to PM during theirundergraduate curriculum, and most PM courses are based on literature and reading.

Students were left to develop this ability on their own when needed later in their collegiate career” [5]. • “Having just completed two decades in the auto industry, I was surprised that foundational courses did not include significant coding, so, previously, I had my students complete programming activities beyond those in the initial standard curriculum” [6
